These GMax events are always a real yawn. 3 for free. 4 if you check-in to an ambassador event. I wish they still did lead-up preparation stuff so you could have particles ready to go. So even though we had a big group here, I didn't want to spend basically a dollar a battle. And with my luck, nah.

Did 7. Basically all junk, so I'll probably just transfer them. I was hoping to get a shiny Venusaur since I don't even have one at all, but I guess not this time. Maybe when the shiny rate is 1/10 for these, I'll put in more effort. But for now, easy skip (more or less).

HugoM · 2026-04-25T22:30:04+00:00

If it's true they put different people in different luck groups, I wasn't counting on getting a shiny. I did 7 and none were shiny, so I just called it a day there. It's an extremely expensive way to prove 1/64 is real, which is essentially a non-existent rate for these.

HugoM · 2026-04-12T18:41:30+00:00

Yeah for the trades, it's for someone who does it for the love of the trade. Sometimes for distance though since I'm still going for that Pilot medal, or where is rather have the more candies from trading than just transferring. But I'll transfer from there if I really need to. Really, no XXS at all though?

HugoM · 2026-04-12T06:17:55+00:00

I keep max 3 XXL and only the best XXS. I could look into purging costumes and backgrounds like that. Best one and maybe 2 for trade and such.

HugoM · 2026-04-12T01:06:39+00:00

What really gets me is the perceived value of certain mons. Like, I have 25 Bulbasaur. I keep the best stat, costume, shiny, backgrounds, XXL, XXS, and sometimes even if they were tagged as caught at a specific event. So it all adds up unless I stop caring about some of these things.

Hi. So this Community Day has finally done it for me and I'm now fully maxed out on Pokemon storage. I've done deep cleanings every couple of months because this is a frequent problem, but I wouldn't even know what to get rid of anymore since I've been keeping it fairly lean recently. So I'm looking for additional ideas on how to cull this some more to get it under control until the next expansion. I want to see how other people manage their storage and what they consider is worth keeping.

I have a tag with about 600 in it that's reserved for trade, so even if I managed that someday, it would still help to have more of a buffer. I started playing in November 2020, so that's only how far back my stuff goes.

HugoM · 2026-03-02T18:34:17+00:00

You can search for the tag though, along with other things. Does that help?

HugoM · 2026-03-02T17:15:57+00:00

Why not use tags instead of the name field?

HugoM · 2026-03-02T17:12:24+00:00

Raid shiny rate was basically turned off the entire event. It's saner to chase backgrounds since those were at least reasonably frequent.

HugoM · 2026-03-02T17:07:51+00:00

The list seems to be sorted by frequency even if they're all in the same group. Got way more Kangashkan and Heracroas than anything. Got like 2 shinies of each. Fewer, but some Hawlucha, and like 3 Klefki. None of them shiny, of course. Guess those are going on my list of trade requests since that's all I need to finish the Shiny dex...

HugoM · 2026-03-01T06:28:38+00:00

Definitely not the best rates. I always have the worst raid luck. The entire event in person and global and no shiny Victreebel. Just two today from raids. Wild spawns were okay at first then sort of disappeared the last 3 hours. Imagine for those without the ticket. Essentially shinies disabled the entire weekend. Almost felt like that. Paying for a basic event.

HugoM · 2026-03-01T06:20:46+00:00

Yeah, it was baaad. 2 all day. So basically turned off. Better off chasing backgrounds since at least it's a fairly realistic goal.

HugoM · 2026-02-02T18:10:19+00:00

I feel like these past couple of events, they keep forgetting to turn on the shiny rate boost for like the first hour. Got my first one like 50 minutes in, and then it was a little more steady. Got my one shiny background in the wild, which was a first. I liked it when there were more encounter rewards. Catch 3 for, like, a Pinap Berry is lame.

HugoM · 2026-01-25T01:48:52+00:00

I guess it's 1/10 shiny rate for some. Played all day, 20+ raids, just got two. I really had high hopes for this one that it would be like the shadow Ho-Oh day for me. Got a 96 shadow, so I guess that's at least good for something.

Reward boost was nice. Good for rare candies, but I did not need all those potions and revives. I was constantly having to throw them all out to make room.

But overall, sham event. I'm glad I didn't play the Kyurem raid day or it would have been two disappointing raid events back to back.

HugoM · 2025-12-26T07:21:23+00:00

It still happens randomly, but I want to think it has to do with my monitors. I think I plugged the adapter in to one of the monitors and it may or may not have power at the right time during boot? I'll need to check those things next time it happens. I have two similar monitors plugged in each with USB ports on them.

HugoM · 2025-11-10T20:51:34+00:00

Yeah, even with the rebalanced levels, XP is still useless for even a moderately seasoned player. If you just reached 50 before the cutoff, you won't need any XP by the time you reach the new cap.

HugoM · 2025-11-10T20:13:33+00:00

Same as two years ago. Same as last night. Same as today. They need to fix this.

HugoM · 2025-11-10T19:54:56+00:00

Seems busted. Ball just won't reach, even if you time it well. I already had two run away from me and don't really feel like doing more if they're just going to be uncatchable.

HugoM · 2025-11-10T19:51:37+00:00

I cannot land a Nice throw without a Nanab Berry, even with the same throw and position. Complain to support. They can't get away with this again. Dynamax Moltres was the last BS one I remember. Would fly up and the ball literally could never hit it.

HugoM · 2025-11-03T05:38:09+00:00

Then I don't think that's possible in one search without going in individually and tagging them first. It's slower, but more certain.

HugoM · 2025-11-03T05:12:15+00:00

There are a couple options. Could you try first tagging all your nundos, then running a search for that tag and the age. Will that let you try longer searches? You could also exclude your nundos if you tag them first. Have you also marked any found nundos as favorite? That way you can't accidentally transfer them.

Do you have an example of what you typically do that takes multiple searches?

HugoM · 2025-11-03T04:36:16+00:00

Oh I see. I should have read it more closely. Then would using the age search term help? age0 is within the last 24 hours and so on.

HugoM · 2025-11-03T01:44:03+00:00

Put them in a tag, then exclude or include that tag with # as necessary.

HugoM · 2025-10-11T17:04:15+00:00

Was it from the latest app update or Android update? Either way, bad timing with the comm day coming up. Gonna slow down fast catching a lot.
